Under Windows DBeaver is a solid (and free) tool for the casual database user. But under Linux you really learn to save your scripts often.

    Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much. I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default, TYVM.

      True. I’ll grant you that.

      Arch isn’t “unstable” by any means. I’ve been running Arch EndeavourOS as my desktop distro that I develop on for years and it’s entirely reliable. Now I personally wouldn’t run Arch on any of my distros (I go with either Debian or NixOS), but there are people who do it and it works fine.

      Edit: I said “Arch” but I meant EndeavourOS, which is Arch with some QoL improvements.
